As an ocean wave approaches the shallow water near a shoreline, it begins to lose energy because of friction with the ocean bottom. This causes the wave to slow down. As the wave becomes shallower, incoming wave crests gradually catch up with the slower wave crests ahead resulting in a wavelength that decreases from crest-to-crest. The incoming wave becomes higher, steeper, and unstable, and their crests collapse forward. Breakers, as seen in the picture, are collapsing waves. The motion of wave crests also influences the formation of a breaker. Breakers are less affected by friction than wave troughs and thus overrun the troughs. The collapsing crests of breakers moving at high speeds toward shore play a major role in shaping shorelines.
A breaker wave, a surf.
true
The breaker hit my face. Then made me tumble in the ice cold ocean water. I was so scared. I started to sweat. So badly my crush saw and ignored me for the rest of my life. Even though i am a movie star.
An offshore wave breaker is a structure built in the ocean to reduce the intensity of waves and protect a coastline or harbor from wave erosion. It works by dissipating wave energy before it reaches the coast, thus reducing the impact of waves on beaches or structures.
A breaker is a collapsing wave that occurs when the ocean floor rises abruptly, causing the wave to break and form white foam. Breakers are typically found in shallow water near the shore where the waves interact with the ocean floor. They are important for surfers as they provide good conditions for riding waves.
the stone breaker
A breaker forms when a large ocean wave encounters a shallow seabed or obstacles like rocks, causing the wave to become unstable and eventually topple over in a dramatic fashion. The sudden change in water depth accelerates the wave's crest, causing it to break and generate crashing white water.

The voltage before the breaker is from the distribution panel's buss bars. This voltage is controlled by the panel's main breaker. To have no voltage on the terminal of the breaker means that either the breaker is shut off or it has gone into a trip position. If it has tripped push the handle of the breaker to the off position and then to the on position. This should reset the breaker. If the voltage is not present at the output terminal of the breaker after resetting it, then replace the breaker as it has a fault in it.
Does anyone know what brand breaker replaces a Gould breaker???
